Some theme is not rendering properly.
Font style support

1. Locating VS Code theme's json file.

Link to VS Code Theme Marketplace
The json file can be found in the themes/ in most of the theme's repository.

If you not able to find the theme's json files, you can click on Download Extension link shown in the 2nd screenshot above. Change the downloaded package's extension with .zip and extract it to find the themes folder containing the json files.

2. Configuration files used to generate themes.

Configuration files can be found here: https://github.com/nice/themeforge/tree/master/src/settings

3. Extending to other editors

Code is written in Vanilla JS

Please check the folder: https://github.com/nice/themeforge/tree/master/src

The main generation logic is defined in the Editor class inside editor.js

Emacs and Vim extends Editor class, see emacs.js and vim.js inside the same folder

If you need any help:
Please raise an issue at https://github.com/nice/themeforge

4. Some theme is not rendering properly.

Obligatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCsO56kWwTc

Theme generation relies on atleast a few basic keys being availabe in the VS Code theme.

Especially editor.background, editor.foreground, type: dark/light

Also there are some editor limitations, typos in VS Code theme's json file, or the configuration might be missing in themeforge.

5. Font style support

Just a matter of configuration. Emacs supports this for some tokens/faces. Vim configuration is being updated.
